Based on his analysis of the theories of Special Relativity, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, engineer Alberto Donini proposes a new interpretative model that eliminates paradoxes and contradictions, generating a harmonious system free of counterintuitive concepts. Lorentz transformations and Franco Selleri’s inertial transformations are able to explain all physical phenomena without generating paradoxes. Furthermore, Selleri’s inertial transformations admit the existence of superluminal particles. The presence of subtle particles is hypothesised, which cannot be determined with current measurement systems, but only indirectly, and which would be the cause of universal gravitation. The gravitons predicted by quantum mechanics and the curvature of space-time predicted by general relativity would no longer be necessary. The particles considered elementary would in fact all be composed of billions of subtle particles, which would explain their large number and their very different characteristics. The presence of subtle particles would make all the anomalies of quantum mechanics understandable. Photons would be particles composed of a pair of sub-particles with double helical motion, according to MODEC theory. Subtle particles could travel at superluminal speeds. The only elementary particle that makes up the entire universe would be the “minius”, which can have a negative or positive electric charge. Experiments such as the double-slit experiment are indirect evidence of the existence of subtle particles. Quantum entanglement is not caused by “non-local” ‘superimposed states’ of the two particles considered, but by the subtle particles that compose them and communicate with each other at a speed of approximately 4.2 · 1018 m/s. If all this were verified through appropriate experiments, it could open the door to travel at speeds faster than light.
Alberto Donini (2026) studied this question.
